(Bulletin Photo) Harrises lose bid, await jury verdict Coal strike costing both sides millions By LINDA DEUTSCH Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) The judge in the William and Emily Harris trial, accused repeatedly by the defense of prejudice, again has refused to declare a mistrial or remove himself from the case.

Defeated in their efforts to win a mistrial, the Harrises today waited for a possible verdict as a jury entered its fourth day of deliberations. Superior Court Judge Mark Brandler, attacked by defense attorneys for what they said was misconduct and bias, in- Continued from Page 1 Davis was heir to a fortune built by his father, Ken Davis. A neighbor, retired businessman Clifford Jones, said Mrs. Davis, clad in a skirt and halter top, "ran better than a quarter of a mile," climbed over or through a barbed wire fence and reached his home "semi- hysterical." Jones summoned police and an ambulance after she told him a man was "killing everybody." The Davis mansion is on a 140- acre estate in a secluded setting of West Fort Worth, scene in past of gala parties. The elegant enclave is guarded by security forces and watch dogs.

Ambulance driver Daniel Bruner said Mrs. Davis told him she and Farr arrived at the mansion around midnight. She and Farr were confronted by a gunman who tried to force them into the basement, Mrs. Davis was quoted. Bev Bass, a friend of Mrs.

Davis 1 eldest daughter, Dee, 18, said she and Gavrel were approaching the mansion by car when the assailant fired at them. He hit Gavrel, she said, and tried to shoot her, giving chase as she fled on foot. "I've known him for years," recounted Miss Bass as police sought to quiet her, "and then I saw the look on his face as he chased me, trying to shoot me. I've never been so freaked out in my life. Can you imagine someone shooting your boy friend? I ran down the field barefoot." Farr, a 6-foot-9 native of Texarkana, was a TCU basketball star in the middle 1960s.

He later became owner of a now defunct night spot and more recently managed a country music club named the Rhinestone Cowboy. sisted Monday that testimony about the possible prejudice of a juror did not warrant further action. "The motion for a mistrial is denied," he said. "The motion to disqualify this court is denied." Brandler also rejected a defense request to have a neutral judge arbitrate the matter. "Unless we develop new evi' dence, with Judge Brandler foreclosing every form of relief the matter is closed," said chief defense attorney Leonard Weinglass.

The jury, unaware of the courtroom controversy, deliberated for eight hours Monday on the kidnap, robbery and assault charges against the Harrises. The charges stem from the Harrises' flight from a Los Angeles sporting goods store where a clerk allegedly caught Harris shoplifting. Patricia Hearst, a codefendant, is to be tried later on the same charges. Brandler voiced doubt about the honesty of two women who reported irregularities in jury behavior. The judge said he believed at least one of them had "triggered her imagination or magnified what she heard." He said he suspected she was disgruntled at not being chosen as a juror.

Brandler said he discounted the complaint of Jeannie Barton related to him by a fellow judge as no more important than a crank phone call. Mrs. Barton, who was a prospective juror in the Harris case, came forward last Friday to report possible prejudice of a sitting juror. She said she tried to get word to counsel through the judge but instead was placated by a bailiff. An attorney's wife, she said she was distressed at apparent bias among jurors being screened for the trial.

Bangs boy Kurt in wreck here An 11-year-old Bangs boy was treated and released by Brownwood Community Hospital Monday following a two-vehicle accident reported at 11:50 a.m. The mishap occurred at Fisk and Broadway. Raymond Sauseda was a passenger in a car driven by Rudy Perez of Bangs. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Also in the wreck were a 1967 auto driven by Bill Whntley of Zephyr.

1 2 FRIED CHICKEN GREEN SAIAO FRENCH fRIES CREAM GRAVY TEXASIOASI 1" CHARLESTON, W.Va.(AP)- With the union's back-to-work order failing to end a wildcat coal strike the nation's coal output remains cut in half. Both union and management say the strike has cost them millinos, and two coal-hauling railroads say they'll lay off 1,500 workers. The United Mine Workers union said Monday that its health and retirement fund, which depends on royalties from coal operators, has been drained of $5.5 million since the strike began spreading more than two weeks ago from the local where it originated. Edwin Wiles of the West Virginia Coal Association said his state has lost 3.2 million tons of coal output worth $15.7 million in wages. The Norfolk and Western Railway said its coal-hauling operations had lost $3,5 million and it would lay off 650 employ- es this week if the strike continued.

The Chessie System, which already laid off several hundred workers, said that on Wednesday it would furlough 925 employes building coal cars in Raceland, and 113 locomotive repairmen in Huntington, W. Va. Last Friday, UMW President Arnold Miller told local officials to hold weekend meetings to order back to work the 80,000 soft coal miners about half the total nationally who had joined the strike. Some of them were back Monday, but others were kept by pickets from reporting, and still others joined the wildcat for the first time. Pickets from the southern West Virginia coalfields turned away miners in north and cen- Parts of city have power interruption A short interruption of electrical power was experienced in certain areas of Brownwood Monday afternoon.

Apparently a broken power line at Round Mountain caused the interruption. A fire was reported around the same time at Round Mountain. It was not definitely known whether or not the fire was caused from the broken power line. Repairs slated on stands at Blanket BLANKET Repairs will be made on the football stands Saturday morning and members of the community are invited to assist the project by bringing carpentry tools. Work is scheduled to get underway at 8 a.m.

Meanwhile, rebellious Local 1759 called a meeting today at Dry Branch in Kanawha County in southern West Virginia to appoint a committee to meet with the Bituminous Coal Operators Association (BCOA) to discuss grievance procedures. The strikers said they wouldn't return to work without such a meeting, but the BCOA had not indicated whether it would agree to it.

The strike began to spread when a federal judge fined the local $50,000 plus $25,000 a day for contempt after the men refused to return to work in a job- posting dispute. The miners said the coal operators were using the courts too often to settle disputes that could better be resolved through grievance procedures. The miners ignored the judge's offer on Saturday to drop the fines if members of the local returned to work. In other labor developments Monday: resumed at the last of 76 California canneries which were closed down for 11 days at harvest time while 13 Teamsters Union locals representing 63,000 workers struck for higher wages.

Council members also resolved to make application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for federal flood control insurance during the meeting.

John Busby was appointed city fire marshal for the next year and Billy Rains of Cisco was hired by the city to serve as a night patrolman. Rains will begin work Wednesday night. The council also approved a budget for $177,000 for the next fiscal year and will advertise for bids to purchase a new city police car.

Continued from Page 1 to grow cultures from the samples. These cultures could lead to identification of the disease. Cases of the illness were reported throughout the state. All the persons affected attended the 10-day Legion convention in Philadelphia that ended July 24. The first reports of illness came last Monday; the first death last Friday.

It was the mounting death toll Monday that alarmed public health officials. Bachman was asked if it could be swine flu. "That's a possibility," he said. "We're trying to pin it down, but we don't know right now. But there's no reason to panic, everyone should realize that." More than one million people from throughout the world are gathered in Philadelphia this week for the Roman Catholic International Eucharistic Congress.

Congress officials said they had no plan to curtail activities. The Center for Disease Control, an arm of the U.S. Public Health Service, dispatched a three-man medical investigative team to Pennsylvania. Two other virus experts from the CDC were already in the state. Dr.

Michael Gregg, director of the center's Viral Disease Division, said the symptoms reported by victims are similar to influenza, but it was too early, he said, to say whether it was swine flu.

(AP) The railroad commission has approved abandonment of a small gas line in Kiigore because of the high cost of installing electrical wiring required by the federal government to prevent rusting in the line. Few residential users were served by the Warren Petroleum Co. line, and only one complained about the abandonment, a comission spokesman said. When Exxon agreed to serve that customer, the commission approved Warren's request to shut it down. The gas comes from a ca- singhead system, where the gas is produced incidental to oil recovery.

Had the commission not acted, Warren would have had to cease oil operations at that site, a spokesman said. 700 Pubfiihsd Saturday, ond Sunday morning 'jy SHOWN- WOOD PUIllSHINfc CO. P.O. 801 1188. Brownwood, 76801.

Passengers may put bite on thief HOUSTON (AP) A couple of passengers in a stolen car may put the bite on the thief who took it. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Powell said Monday their sports car, which was stolen Saturday, contained two rare and very poisonous Asian rattlesnakes. Mrs.

Powell, 23, said the snakes, which she purchased at $550 each for a friend who owns an exotic pet shop here, were in a shoe box on the floor in the passenger side of the car. She said the rhinoceros vipers, commonly called "horned toad adders" were a little more than two feet long and "very poisonous like most rattlesnakes." She said the car and snakes were stolen when her husband, 26, left the car motor running as he went inside their house. Police said they will check out persons who show up at local Hospitals with snake bites. detective predicted possibly other-injuries for the thief. "Can't you imagine some guy driving attJng at 70 miles an hour when a rattlesnake crawls out on the front seat asked Lt.

The program is bogged down on issues of insurance protection for the drug companies producing the vaccine for immunization. fires record score QDC INTERSTATE Most of those stricken Pennsylvania were delegates to the Legion convention, although some wives and children who attended with delegates have also fallen ill. More than 10,000 legionaires attended the convention. Bachman said the number of dead and sick in the outbreak will not be known until a statewide hospital-by-hospital survey is finished. AUSTIN, Tex.

(AP) Fletcher Williams of Camden, S. has fired an apparent world record score in sporter class benchrest rifle competition at 200 yards. Williams' cluster of five shots within a diameter of .215 inch was fired during the National Benchrest Shooting Association Championships here last week. The target was submitted to the 1 association's scoring committee for verification that it topped the old record of a inch cluster. Rifles used in the competition must be at least .243 caliber.

A spokesman said Williams' cluster of five shots looked like a single bullet hole.
